Donald Trump continues to stand by prominent men facing mounting criticism and controversy. Among them are Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who reportedly faces questions over his position following allegations involving an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is also dealing with growing scrutiny. Trump has additionally drawn attention for jokingly offering powerful authoritarian leaders the opportunity to take over his role.
